Picturesque entrance to Nassau with Paradise Island off in the distance.

Again we chose the self-guided walking tour rather than the glitzy overpriced tours. At our third stop we talked with a fellow passenger who was using a guide much better than ours and who shared an extra copy with us. Nassau retains some of its Colonial past. The impeccably dressed guards outside the Pink Government buildings and uniformed school children all greet you with a wide smile and exchange of pleasantries.
